I noticed the other day that my piece at Devonport wharfwas coming apart at the seam. The piece still looks pretty good(I put it up in May), so this morning I decided to go and mend it.

When I got there, I could hardly believe my eyes.Someone else had already fixed it!It’s sitting there, a bit faded and fuzzy from the sun and the rain,but neatly fixed to the hand rail. Someone else cares aboutmy woolly tagging and can be bothered to mend it!

How to make a flower

If you want to make flowers likethe ones I planted around Devonportmake them like this:Cast on 40 stitches, stitch one, castoff 7, stitch one etc until finished.Cut off the thread, pull through allthe stitches on the needle, pull tightand you’ve got a flower!Make one more (65 stitches, cast of12 at a time), sew them together andyou’ve got a double flower.
